Eat-Drink BE Merry

Good morning everyone... Happy New Year!

Wishing you all the very best for a safe and healthy 2021! 

Today is the start of a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas and this month the theme is... Christmas/Holiday Treats.

I made a little gift bag & card and they feature some very cute ephemera pieces and papers from Pebbles- the Merry Merry collection. I used Lawn Fawn dies for the bag and Zig Zag rectangle, Spellbinder and Sizzix dies for circles and the sentiment on the card is a very old stamp from Stampabilities.

******************************************************

 I needed a few more bags for gift cards so here's a picture of them... they are made with the same paper collection and were so easy to make because everything coordinates so well even the tiny tags! :)  

 Well, that's it for today- thanks so much for stopping by and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog to check out the rest of the teams beautiful cards. 

Hugs, Tammy

Hello everyone!

I've been working on Halloween cards to add to my donation box... so today I wanted to pop in and show you what I've been up to! :) 

All papers, ephemera and sentiments are from Pebbles- the Spooky Boo Collection. 

I added a piece of vellum behind the ghost image on the card above and other finishing touches include: sequins, enamel dots, staples, googly eyes and Tim Holtz label tape. 

 These cards were so easy and fun to make and I think they turned out pretty cute. I love using paper collections/kits especially when making several cards at a time and the fact that everything coordinates so well makes putting them together a snap! :) 

Well that's it for now- thanks so much for taking the time to visit my blog today!

Good morning everyone!

I wanted to pop in today and share my last Christmas card of the year... I made several cards similar to this one for all of my dog-loving family members and friends! :)

It features a sweet puppy image from Bugaboo Stamps and the papers are from Carta Bella. I used My Favorite Things dies for the rounded stitch rectangle, pierced fishtail flags and pierced rectangle. The floral background panel was cut with an Avery Elle stitched die and to finish it up I added some red sequins.

And since I won't post again until after Christmas I wanted to show you the little gift card holders/bags that I made for my nieces!

I cut the bags out of kraft cardstock using a Lawn Fawn die... the papers, ephemera and mini tags are from Pebbles- the Merry Merry collection. The 'joy' die cut is from MFT, the confetti/sequins and twine are from my stash and there you have it... three quick and easy gift bags!

Good morning everyone!

It's time for a new Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge AND as always it's Anything Goes as long as you create a Christmas card or project!

 I have a couple of cards to share with you today and they feature papers and ephemera from Pebbles- the Merry Merry collection. I wanted to donate several cards this year and this collection was perfect... the papers are gorgeous and the images are so cute! These are two of my favorite and no coloring or stamping was required! :) I used Avery Elle dies for the large stitched rectangles and MFT dies for the scallop borders and fishtail flag. And there you have it... a couple of quick and cute Christmas cards!

  Now head on over to the main challenge blog and check out the beautiful cards by the other team members.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for all of the comments you leave!
